The 2nd gen 997's are just incredible.

The first gen motors are stronger, at least in the turbos. I've been driving one making 711whp on occasion for the past month. :dance: First thing I've driven that I think is actually quicker than my (well, former as of last week) 09 ZX6R.

The new 3 is really a big car compared to what it used to be. Comparatively, its is about the same size of my E39 5er.... The 1 series is what the 3 should be. By the way that 1 series is a FANTASTIC driving car.

I drove one of the M 1 Series.. oh my god. I will own one of those eventually.

Wait. You are telling us there is an abandoned 037 sitting around somewhere? :psyboom:
They built only 262 of these in the first place (of which several are probably destroyed now due to racing) and now they cost a loving fortune! Go and take pictures, please. I can't believe that someone would let that thing stay there for so long.

Pics will come tonight, I get off work at 5 and I will run home and grab my camera.

You really have a strange idea of what fast is. The Tundra is quick for what it is -- a full-sized truck. The S4, even stock, is so much quicker that they are not comparable to a significant degree.

The S4 isn't all that much quicker, 5.5 to 60 vs like 6.3 or something. I'd almost guess that the truck would probably win in most stoplight encounters with average drivers because of the lolmashthegas part.

If driving to work, at 70mph max, is the additional downforce needed?

I'm fine, should be ruled the other drivers fault (she crossed a double yellow to get into a turn lane early). Good chance she's done for though...

This happened to me. I was found at fault.

edit:

(Mill and Broadway for Tempe locals)

Basically, she was speeding, cuts into the double/solid line meant for making immediate turns while stopped traffic waves me through a gap. I see her flying up far too late, jam on the brakes so pretty much only the front right corner of my bumper is in that lane, and she cuts over into me enough to drag the right corner of my bumper the whole way down her car from front bumper to rear bumper. She tries to run and I chase her down, then call the cops because I mean poo poo, she crossed the DY, not my fault, right? Nope, cops found me at fault for failure to yield.

I got the ticket, my insurance placed 50/50 blame on her and I don't know what happened after that. I fixed my car for the price of a used corner light and a bumper rub strip. From the damage to her car, there is no way it wasn't totalled.

It was then my dad told me that should an accident happen again, regardless of fault, and the other person makes any hint of running to let them go and just claim the hit and run. :v: Far less messy.

Wheels are going away ASAP (they were really cheap, $480 including new tires, but I have to run like -3.2 degrees of camber in the back to not rub), and the ride height has been raised quite a bit since this picture was taken.

Sorry I riced your old car Das Volk :devil:

ImportScene2013.txt

This is why I stay away from import car shows even when an organizer wants me to show up with my STi. I'd rather spend my Saturday/Sunday at a track/autox/dragstrip, than deal with fucks that ask why I didn't slam my car to the weeds or why my brake pads are so loud. Then, again I'm into performance cars for their abilities and for competition at timed events and not for internet fame which is probably a minority viewpoint in the bigger scheme of thing.

...dude, you're talking about car shows. Who do you expect to show up? The whole drat point is aesthetics.

RSV4 sounds pretty cool, imo.

He's not comparing a showroom-stock bike, either. Aprilia only claim 180 hp at the tire. I just wish i could justify the money for either bike.

Can't really compare a bike that isn't even sold to a stock bike, can you? The RSV4 dynos like 150 something at the wheel stock out of 999ccs.
